Rwanda's unbending approach since its holocaust has led it to some remarkable successes - and embroiled it in controversy. What's undeniable is that Rwanda is forging a remarkable path to development. Last week the country was named the most improved sub-Saharan nation on the Ibrahim Index of African Governance, ranking factors such as transparency and human development over the last five years. If yesterday Rwanda was Africa's great tragedy, today, to many, it is its great hope. "This is not just a nation that's emerged from the ashes," says Ruxin. "It pulled itself...
...itching for a war with Iran. Norman Podhoretz, the neocon paterfamilias, has written a trifle called World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism and loves to posit Ahmadinejad and Osama bin Laden-a far more dangerous character-as the heirs to Hitler and Stalin. "They follow the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism," he writes. This is incendiary foolishness. Terrorists have the ability to wreak terrible damage intermittently, but they don't represent an existential threat to the U.S. Ahmadinejad commands no legions-not even the Hizballah forces in Lebanon that attacked Israel in the summer...

Although Wallace and Yang said they used the same critical thinking process and research methods to get the business started, they have found this new line of work to be fulfilling in a way their scientific work rarely is. “You get on a set path in academia that’s hard to get off of.

He's too secure in his self-righteousness, too smug in his conviction that his is the only viable path to self-fulfillment. A lot of the dropouts he encounters on his way offer less radical alternatives to a life within the system. Theirs might not be your way, or mine, but they all seem reasonably content - a couple of jumps ahead of the IRS, a couple of yards away...
...planted a metal flag in the sea floor beneath the North Pole last month, Greenland had been eyeing its own potential reserves of oil and gas surrounding the island. Shrimp processing is the biggest contributor to the territory's GDP today, but big oil could offer a much shorter path to self-reliance. In September, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Denmark's Dong Energy joined the ranks of those who have been looking for oil off Greenland's west coast, and last month the U.S. Geological Survey released an estimate that an area off Greenland's northeast coast could yield...
